The home side had lost 1-2 in the shoot-out in the first match at the same Kalinga Stadium here on Saturday.
Just like on Saturday, both the teams were locked at 1-1 at the end of the regulation time, leading to the shoot-out.
Kumari Sangita, Tete Salima and Sonika scored from their attempts in the shoot-out while none of the Germans from among Lilly Stoffelsma, Lena Frerichs and Sara Strauss could score from their three tries with the home side skipper and goal-keeper Savita doing a brilliant job to deny the visitors.
Earlier, Felicia Wiedermann gave World No.5 Germany the lead in the 29th minute through a penalty corner conversion but Nisha equalised in the 40th minute through a field goal.
World No.9 India secured two points from the match, including a bonus point while Germany collected one point.
